I'm not trying to win anything. I am a parent, and a good parent at that. My sexual orientation has nothing to do with my parenting skills.

People need to move on, and stop talking about things that they know nothing about.

Your parents must be thrilled and feel so appreciated.

Where do you think the sperm and egg come from?

All of these problems are solved if we just have one holiday called Parents Day.

OMG. If you don't have a father, than don't celebrate. Do they feel left out on Groundhog day because they're not groundhogs?

Having to use a lab to have a kid, and not due to a medical condition but due to laws of nature and God, is misuse of science. You're either by nature supposed to breed or you're not. Its not fair to the kid to bring up a kid without a father or a mother. Your goal from the beginning is selfish and this notion that you're a real family and just like a man and woman when you're not is like children who play make believe. Its not bashing you, its a fact. You're different, accept it and quit trying to pretend your just like a normal couple

especially when it takes a village to raise your child.

If you have two fathers why would you need parents day?

If you have two mothers why would you need parents day?

why strain your brain...?

Sounds like you provide your children with what children need: unconditonal love and a happy home.
